| Dear Subscribers, Greetings! The win-one-of-my-paintings-for-referring-a-friend-to-the-newsletter-contest is still running for one more week. For a reminder of the rules, click HERE. Already the response has been awesome. Thanks for your support! Painted a new mini. The setup:  First stage (I'd pre-toned the panel):  Next stage:  Next stage:  And the finished painting, "Leaves & Mango" (6x6 panel):  And the ONLY brush I used on this painting from start to finish (aside from signature): a size 6 filbert bristle. This is why filbert bristles are my favorite. You don't need a small brush to achieve detail, you can just push the paint around with the tip:  Painted a new large still life! The setup:  The first stage:  Next stage:  Next stage:  Next stage:  And the finished painting, "The Pitcher" (24x18 panel):  The best part of painting a mango? Eating it afterwords.... perfectly ripe from being under a light for a few days. Mmmm... Until next week, David A. N.
